It turns out embarrassing hero worship bordering on propaganda isn't the kind of thing people like to revisit.
does William Baldwin play the person William Baldwin plays, because William Baldwin can't act?
shareI'm surprised they even made a sequel to this and with Billy Baldwin
shareYeah... until the next 9/11 when worshipping people who sacrifice themselves for the safety of others for almost no money at all gets back in style.

I know fire fighters and cops, and they make good salaries with great benefits and early retirement. Events like "9/11" are extremely rare, and most fire fighters and cops have never experienced anything near that level of danger.
The writers of collider are idiots that belong at MSNBC. I think there's still plenty to love in Backdraft and it's awesome knowing all the staged fire sequences are real.
shareBackdraft is a good movie.
You have Ron Howard directing. In camera special effects (no CGI). Suspenseful scenes, lots of drama and action. Hans Zimmer score (when he did decent scores). A great cast with Kurt Russell, Rebecca De Mornay, Scott Glenn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, JT Walsh, Robert De Niro.
